Tiger Moth Climb& Descend Gauge (pg9 ins)
Here is a very early climb and
descend indicator dating from the 1930s. This gauge was used
in the RAF's Tiger Moth. I believe it would have been used
in other aircraft types of the period. The picture does not
do it any favours, the flash has accentuated its flaws, It
actually looks better in the flesh. Its a simple instrument
and in full working order. Complete with fixing bracket.

The de Havilland DH 82
Tiger Moth is a 1930's Bi Plane designed by Geoffrey De Haviland and was operated by the RAF and others as a
primary trainer. The Tiger Moth remained in service with the
RAF until 1952 when many of the surplus aircraft entered
civil operation. Many other nations used the Tiger Moth both
in military and civil applications and the ubiquitous little
trainer is still in great demand worldwide as a recreational
aircraft.

Kollsman Altimeter 1942 (pg9 ins)
A really
nice early altimeter fitted to Spitfire's Hurricanes and
practically all other RAF Wartime aircraft. The top right
lug is damaged. I don't know why but allot of these
altimeter's have this lug either damaged or ground off. As
the altimeter mounts from the back of the panel the broken
lug won't be seen. If you want to replace the case I am
including a new case with this instrument see under.

GLOSTER GAUNTLET 240 MPH ASI
(pg9
ins)
A
very rare Airspeed indicator
used in the Gloster Gauntlet. Not many instruments like this
survive from the 1930s this is in mint
condition . Fighters were about to take a huge leap
in the form of Spitfires and Hurricanes. This ASI was in use
two years before the first Spitfire prototype flew.
The Gloster Gauntlet was designed by H P Folland to meet RAF
requirements for a new day-and-night single-seat fighter
during 1927 and entered production in
1934 to Specification
24/33. A total of 24 Gloster Gauntlet I's and 204 Gloster
Gauntlet 11's were built for the RAF, with 605 hp Mercury
VIS engines and two fixed for-ward-firing 0.303 in (7.7 mm)
machine guns. A handful remained in service with No 616
Squadron in September 1939 but were soon retired from
front-line squadrons, continuing to fly in the UK as station
hacks and for meteorological duties. A few others equipped
'D' Flight of 47 Squadron (later No 430 Flight) in the Sudan
and saw combat in 1940, against Italian forces; ex-RAF
Gloster Gauntlets also operated briefly in North Africa with
RAAF squadrons and in East Africa with the SAAF. 24 ex-RAF
Gloster Gauntlets supplied to Finland in 1940 served as
fighter trainers until 1945, some on skis.
Max speed,
230 mph (370 km/h) at 15,800 ft
(4,815 m). Time to climb to 20,000ft (6,100 m), 9 min.
Service ceiling, 33,500 ft (10,210 m). Empty weight, 2,770

Cannon Round Counter (pg9 ins)
click on the picture's left
to enlarge

Here's a super rare
wartime item. It's a counter for the 20 mm. Hispano cannon
fitted to wartime British fighters. These were needed due to
the very limited supply of ammunition that the aeroplanes
were able to carry. Some form of guide as to how much had
been expended was therefore necessary. This instrument is in
superb, original condition.

Hurricane RAD Temp Gauge 1936 (pg9 ins)
Classic 1936 dated
Radiator Temperature gauge with complete capillary, it has
short capillary so for fighter use. Could have been fitted
to an early Hurricane . It is also suitable for use in the
early MK's of Spitfire. I have tested this in a bowl of hot
water and it appears to work perfectly it will require recalibration if used
operationally. A rare item in very nice original condition.

A very unusual and
interesting fuel gauge from a Sea Otter. No complete
examples of this aircraft have survived.

 |
Sea Otter fuel gauge (pg9 ins)
The Sea
Otter was broadly based on the Walrus, with a tractor engine
and more refined construction. It could be either Carrier or
shore based and served with the RAF Coastal Command and the
Fleet Air Arm. It consisted of two marks, Mk I Amphibian
with optional under wing bombs or depth charges and the
A.S.R. Mk II Air/Sea rescue version. The first production
aircraft was delivered in August 1943, and a total of 4 had
been delivered by the end of the year, the rest been
delivered in 1944 and 1945. The Sea Otter was the last
biplane to enter RAF and FAA service in 1944. A total of 292
were built mainly for the FAA although only 94 had been
delivered by August 1945.
